Employee tensions over management culture at TSMC US fab: New York Times report

- Reports claim that tensions are growing at the new TSMC chip manufacturing facility in the U.S. Employees at the fab in Arizona are dissatisfied with the managerial style of the Taiwanese chip giant, claims a report from the New York Times. The news has sparked debate about the viability of replicating East Asian tech industry norms in Western countries. RUclipsr Wen Rui has linked the issue with Samsung’s growing pains when it expanded into the U.S. And others are pointing to the link between Taiwan’s silicon industry and increasingly robust support for Taiwan in the U.S.
TSMC has opened its new fab in Arizona. But U.S. employees are questioning the Taiwanese management culture in their new workplace. Even the New York Times has published a report on what it calls “rising doubts.” And RUclipsr Wen Rui has commented, based on his experience working for Samsung. He says that Korean tech giants also went through culture shock when expanding into U.S. labor markets. He believes that TSMC has a successful operating model in Taiwan, and it could succeed in the U.S. too - but not without great difficulty.

The whole success of the chip industry in Taiwan cannot be replicated. It has set the scope for a complete chip production chain, including low production costs. High-end chips will continue to be made in Taiwan. The U.S. must make a “compulsory action,” to protect Taiwan.
Wen Rui says the U.S. has realized the importance of Taiwan’s silicon industry. That’s one reason why, according to the Wall Street Journal, more U.S. troops are being stationed in Taiwan. Meanwhile, silicon industry consultant Chai Huan-hsin says: although TSMC technology is one step ahead of the competition now, it can’t get complacent.

Engineers in Taiwan and South Korea have certainly been working flat out and busting a gut to stay ahead of the game. That’s why TSMC and also Samsung have been able to overtake Intel on advanced manufacturing processes in the last few years. But that doesn’t mean Intel is out of the game.
Industry experts say TSMC’s new venture in the U.S. highlights its weak international management skills.

I wonder if Taiwanese engineers won’t be quite easily headhunted by Intel, or other semiconductor manufacturers, when their contracts expire. TSMC needs to think deeply about the bigger picture, to be fair to both U.S. and Taiwanese engineers.
It seems that TSMC’s workplace norms are not easily transplanted to the U.S. If the chip giant wants to make inroads in the West, it may need to be willing to remodel more than just silicon.

"What?!?! Americans don't work Saturdays?!?!?"
They embrace sports more than anything in the whole world.
More Chinese propaganda. It all depends on the company, or individual.
Engineers may not work weekends, but technicians work 24/7/365.
@@tomtom9184Stop lying. Nobody works 365 days per year, especially lazy Americans. Those are rotational 5 days week that you mentioned.
@@secrets.295 Are you that dense???? As a whole (generally speaking) Technicians DO work 24/7/365. Geezuz! It is not hard to comprehend what was inferred..... SMGDFH
The majority of the US workforce are good and productive on what they are capable of ! You Taiwanese workers spoiled your employer!
just one word is all that is needed and that word is..... SERVITUDE
In June 2021, TSMC started to provide N5A military-grade 5nm chip manufacturing service for high performance computing and high-end AI chips. That will enables the military chip designer of Taiwan, the US, Europe and Japan to apply and design high-tech AI weapons, or to upgrade the arms to be the AI enabled ones.
Stop spamming!
This is why is hell to work for samsung or tsmc in america. Both places sucks
Whenever any country exports it's technology adaptations by the student are needed. When the USA went to China this occurred, when chip technology was taken to Korea and Taiwan this occurred those countries advanced what they learned much further. Us Americans want the newer technology, well the Taiwanese developed it with a certain work ethic - are we up to it? We may have to find a level of compromise but not deliver the best TSMC can produce...that might be limited to Taiwan production.
🇹🇼Taiwan Nam Ba Wan!☝️…
Close all the factories and get back to Taiwan
US is going to pick the TSMC force Technology transfer. The very same thing they complain about China. The difference is TSMC has to comply. while China will give the company a choice to stay or leave.
No. Stop spreading lies. :D
@@adlerzwei you can't handle the truth.
The white house had a tech meeting but they count out TSMC treat them like a step child.
I pity TSMC is betraying Motherland and fell into a Capitalist. Haven't you seen enough what they had done to Donald?
@@ssuwandi3240 What motherland?
Thank you TSMC for bringing wafer fabs into Arizona and providing a workplace alternative for the monopolistic authority Intel Corp over this valley ! Enough said ! God Bless the Republic of Free China !
Lol. 😂😂😂😂
You damn clown😂
THIS IS A PURE, 100% CHINESE GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED PROPAGANDA CHANNEL - JUST SAYIN’. (Knowledge and truth are power, don’t be duped!!!)
It's not just a Chinese propaganda. Yahoo has reported that TSMC struggles to hire workers in Arizona. On Glasdoor, employee reviews gave TSMC an average score of 27%, Intel on the other hand received an 85% score. When I first heard TSMC investment in America I laughed out loud. Chinese/Japanese/Koreans factory they don't play around. If they are going to pay you big money they expect you to put in at least 12 hours a day and maybe even work during Saturdays. Whenever I hear Americans talking about how Americans are so overworked or American work environment is so toxic I always laugh inside my heart 😂. Americans are not overworked, they work adequately. Europeans are lazy, Americans are ok-ish. Chinese, Japanese, Koreans are overworked, Americans aren't. And the North East Asians if they have the opportunity to work in America, they will say the working environment in America is like heaven.
Absolutely! Pure garbage
It says Formosa news, it can hardly get more anti-China than that.😂
Culturally the same..... 🤷🏽♂️
Formosa news is based in Taiwan, hardly chinese propaganda. When Americans hear something they dont like they just call it propaganda. 😂😂 Soft like a snowflake
Really? US troops in Taiwan, RoC.
Serious?
😳👮♂️
I’m an American, we may not value work life balance like the Europeans do but we certainly do more than in East Asia. American workers aren’t lazy and we’re not ok with being worked into the ground either.
American workers are very high skilled workers, one died from using a grinder, and one from drug overdosed while building the plant here 😂😅 The sanitation crews also have to imported from Mexico and South America for low paying job, which local people wouldn't want to do. Union is not going to help them much here, when workers are mostly foreigners. Taiwanese are hard workers, they work 14 to 16 hours per day, 6 days per week. Americans work more than 12 hours per day, they will face divorces from thier wives , unlike Taiwanese wives who will take good care of their husbands, after getting home from late-night work.
What a complete joke you are.....🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations 👏
Union Ironworkers built this. Most skilled in the world. Go back to Taiwan if you love it so much.
So (according to this joke) a lot of Taiwanese workers are essentially slaves, that can’t spend quality time with family, lift weights nor do anything recreational, if they spend 21 hours working and sleeping (if we exclude Sunday).
Can I really consider y’all to be human? If you don’t have the instinct to be severely depressed (under such conditions) and violently rebel?
The workforce in the US sucks when compared to Taiwan. The trend towards woke is not helping.
Yes, which is why US is one of the single most productive economies in the world when looking at GDP produced per hours worked..
@@donjulioanejo That is mostly because of the service sector and the US is really good at that. When it comes to manufacturing they suck so badly that is why everytime a manufacturing company becomes bigger they will shift production elsewhere. Because American workers are lazy. Why employ Mexican workers to work in America when you can operate in Mexico at 3x lower price and with a far better work ethics. Americans don't want to do dirty jobs. They would rather be homeless.
We think of taiwan/chineese workers as gutless, dreamless, robots more willing to be exploited by their dictatorships than American workers. We're not taking what you say as an insult.
@@donjulioanejo not if given the same opportunity and conditions right ?
Ya, the safety standards TSMC is known for speakers worlds......gtfoh
